Avontuur 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)
- $27
There’s a hint of menthol and an overall medicinal streak to the black cherry and berry fruit on the nose, but the palate lacks that characteristic. Rather, mature notes of pepper, leather and smoke dominate. Medium weight with fine but firm tannins.

Avontuur 2008 Cabernet Franc (Stellenbosch)
- $26
Glimmers of flint and smoke rim the black cherry and berry fruit on the nose, coupled with earthy scents of tobacco and bramble. The medium-weight mouth offers more developed, oak-driven flavors of cocoa nib and roasted espresso bean while the crushed satin texture fills the mouth with delicate tannins that linger.

Avontuur 2008 Minelli Pinot Noir (Stellenbosch)
- $26
Lightweight but flavorful with sweet vanilla accents supporting the red fruit character. A touch of popcorn toast appears in the bouquet, while the finish exhibits sweet cola spice.
